Donald De La Haye Jr., also known online as Deestroying, is a Costa Rican-American YouTuber with almost 5 million followers on the platform and millions more across other forms of social media. He played college football at the University of Central Florida, where he was a kicker for the team. On Friday, September 30th he was at Seneca Valley High School to watch the then-undefeated Screaming Eagles take on undefeated Quince Orchard High School (video below).
De La Haye is known for his videos demonstrating his kicking ability as well as his sports-related skits and vlogs talking about his life journey. He also made news while in college when the NCAA controversially banned him for profiting off his name and YouTube videos, which sparked reform for student athlete compensation and became a driver for the implementation of a fair and balanced set of rules for student-athletes to monetize their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL).
Deestroying has been giving high school football players a platform to showcase their skills through well-edited video productions of games they’re participating in. In this video, he refers to Quince Orchard as having the “best defense ever.” At the time, the undefeated team had not been scored on, a streak that ended last week when Richard Montgomery scored a touchdown. The video also highlights several plays and players from both teams with commentary from Deestroying throughout the video.
